India v England 2016/2017 Tour

India looked like they were heading for victory until England removed te two centurians.
After 40 over India are 291 - 6 needing 60 to win.

2nd ODI today
England won the toss and opted to bowl first.

On what looks like an excellent batting wicket India are 25-3 off 5 over.
Woakes has all 3 wickets including their captain Kolhi

India ended up at 381-6 off their 50 overs

Well after their 356/7 in 48.1 overs to win the first match, India go a little better this time although it was in conditions which look very good for batting. They doubled their score after 33 overs when they were 190/3.

In one of the channels mobile poles, they asked which one of these batsmen was the key to England winning the match. Buttler, Roy, Stokes, Morgan

They don't have the correct option - all of them

After 50 overs England reached 366/8. India won by 15 runs

It's the 3rd ODI today. Hales was injured in the last match and it looks as though Billings will play as opening batsman in his place. Plunkett looks set to play ahead of Rashid, with Ali the only spinner.

The England batting scores in the series so far of 350 and 366 would win ODI matches very often, but unfortunately the England bowling has most of the time been easily thrashed by the Indian batsmen.

Root is also being rested. Bairstow plays at no3.

England to bat 1st

Another decent total by England, this time 321/8. The pitch is not quite as good for batting as the previous two, but India will still strongly fancy their chances, as their batsmen have such mastery of England's bowling. Let's see if England's bowlers can get a few wickets this time and put India under pressure.
